WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Groppo in Val Baganza

Un'escursione verso le pendici dell'Appennino Parmense costeggiando il torrente Baganza camminando su sentieri storici che dolcemente ci porteranno sul monte Groppo e poi sul Bosso. Un cammino lento e suggestivo alla scoperta di luoghi incantevoli ricchi di storia nella selvaggia valle Baganza.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Inizieremo a camminare lungo il greto del torrente Baganza per poi inoltrarci in una zona boschiva incontaminata su antichi sentieri e saliremo verso il primo monte che raggiungeremo durante la giornata. Un trekking totalmente immerso in natura sull'Appennino Parmense che ci farà conoscere ed osservare luoghi incontaminati a poca distanza dalla città.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gianpaolo, an environmental hiking guide and tour leader: from Brianza originally, but long since at home in the province of Parma. My real home, though, is whatever trail I'm walking. I carry the mountains in my heart and a passion for long-distance routes in my backpack, and I don't have a favourite place: lacing up my boots and setting off is enough. What I enjoy most is sharing kilometres and feelings with whoever is walking beside me, because every outing is a journey and every group a new story to live step by step. The backpack is always ready. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
